I have a Vista laptop on a network that will not connect to any of the XP
machines on the network. I am able to access the Vista machine by typing in \\Machine_name where Machine_Name is the name of the Vista machine. However I cannot do this the other way. My main concern is printing from the vista machine to the printer that is connected to to the XP machine. Thanks |
